  5. Sexual Bloopers

    in Ask A "Sexpert"

    Posted

    OMG!!! I haven't posted in so long, but I have GOT to tell you this one! My friend came over and he brought some alcohol. Well, I had WAY too much in a very short time so needless to say, I was completely wasted. So, we're having fun and playing and whatnots when all of a sudden, I got SICK!!! I felt sooo bad, but I ended up puking and then literally passing out! We're still best friends, but I'm trying to get a replay...minus the liquor! :o

  9. Birth Control

    in Marriage and Committed Relationships

    Posted

    I have the IUD (copper). I was in a long marriage and my doctor wouldn't tie my tubes but said that would work. It has wonderfully, the only downside is that every so often I have a heavier period and cramp more, but it's nothing compared to childbirth. Now I am also using condoms cause, well...i'm not married anymore.

  10. Did Anyone See?

    Hmmm, never thought about that aspect. Guess I had my rose colored glasses on that "not my daughter" yeah right, I know, not realistic. What would a realistic age be and how in the world would you start that conversation? Ummm, honey, we need to talk.....

  11. Troubling Problem

    It would be best for you to see your doctor and have a pelvic exam. As part of the exam the following things should be done:

    1. Pap smear and HPV culture - if it hasn't been done in the past 12-24 months

    2. Wet mount - this is done by taking a swab of the discharge in your vagina and looking at it under a microscope - the doctor will be able to determine if you have a yeast infection and/or BV (bacterial vaginosis/vaginitis - see other thread on BV)

    3. Chlamydia/Gonorrhea culture

    4. Bimanual exam - the doctor will be able to assess your uterus and ovaries.

    While it is impossible to say what you do or don't have without a pelvic exam based on your description it is possible that you have a yeast infection - not all women get the "itchyness" aspect, some just get discharge which is most often white, with a somewhat thick consistancy and often with little "chunks or curd like pieces".

    You didn't mention where in your cycle you are or if you are using any type of birth control (pills, IUD). All of this would be important information for you to provide to your gynecologist - in fact he/she should ask you about it.

    As for your urinary complaint - again there can be a variety of reasons. If you have BV or a yeast infection this can sometimes cause that type of sensation. There are a variety of other possibilities - all of which require an exam. One simple thing you can do until you get in to see your doctor is to try drinking cranberry juice once or twice a day. It won't be harmful and maybe helpful.

    Ok, let me show some ignorance (if that's the right word). Why would having an IUD affect this? I understand the pill because it could be due to hormone stuff. But an IUD? However, I do think that your reply was very informative. Couldn't have said it better byself...lol.
